[ siren wailing in distance ]

Ma'’am?

We used to read blake Together.

The ambulance is outside.

[ siren wailing ]

Tape.

Slow the drip.

Get another b.P., dix.

I'’ve been over His complete medical history

At least a dozen times With his wife, kel.

There'’s absolutely No index of suspicion.

[ sighs ]

Any chance that she'’s Covering up anything?

I kinda felt that way at first,

But after I explained to her How terribly important it was,

And that we know The whole truth,

I'’m really convinced that She'’s telling us everything.

Yeah, which is really nothing.

What about his Personal physician?

Apparently, he'’s Out of town, vacation.

He'’s backpacking In the high sierras,

And there'’s no way Of reaching him.

But even if we Could contact him,

I'’m not sure he could shed Much light on the situation.

It seems sir erik has Required only a routine Physical examination

For the past 10 years.

Kel, his b.P. Is higher, 240 over 140.

Let'’s try a methyldopa I.V.

That'’s super high.

Yeah, but what'’s causing it?

[ siren wailing ]

Chet: hey, desoto.Roy: yeah.

Phone call for you.All right.

Now that'’s an evil look, Even for you.

Yeah, well, the chick On the other end

Of that phone'’s Been calling

Every five minutes since You guys rolled out of here.

Well, maybe it'’s business.

Yeah, funny business.

I just wish it was me Instead of him.

Why, do you know her?Only from a distance.

But, boy, is she beautiful.

Roy: I never thought About it that way.

I didn'’t know roy Knew any chicks.

Yeah, well, when you go off sick Like you did the other day,

You do miss some things.

Yeah.

Maybe it'’s about time I caught up.

Don'’t you?Yeah.

Well, I'’m glad That you feel that way.

No, no, I'’m sorry, I can't.

Uh, I promised I'’d take My family to the park tomorrow.

Yeah. Well, that'’s nice. I'’m glad to hear it.

Look, I gotta get going now.

Yeah, well, maybe sometime. I'’ll give it a try. Okay?

Oh, no, I can'’t promise You anything,

But I'’ll give it a try.

All right. Sure. Good-bye.

Look, before you say a word, I don'’t wanna talk about it.

Well, you know, the other day,

Chuck and I went out on a run When you were sick.

There was this girl Trapped inside of a car.

Except, uh, um-

That'’s part of it.

Well, what'’s the rest of it?

Well, uh, it goes A little bit further

Than just being grateful.

She'’s hung up on me.

Hung up on you?Yeah.

Yeah, she thinks I'’m nice.

She wants me to take her out And all that.

[ laughs ] You'’re kidding.

No, I'’m not kidding. Why is that so hard to believe?

Early: which leaves us Right where we started...

Nowhere.

We'’ll start with blood And urine catecholamines,

Routine chemistries, Blood sugar,

Electrolytes, Blood calcium.

If that doesn'’t work, Maybe it'’ll be up to you.

That'’s entered my mind too, And it'’s a good possibility.

Man: what'’s a good possibility?

Pardon me?

I asked the question, doctor.

What'’s a good possibility?

Well, first let me ask you

What you'’re doing in here,

And second, how is It you'’re interested?

I'’m ed duran. This is my partner, Vince thompson.

We'’re here because Sir erik rossman is here.

Now, one of us will remain With him at all times Until he leaves the hospital.

Now the answer To my question, please.

Not without next-of-kin consent.

That'’s vey ethical, doctor, And commendable.

I just happen to have An authorization from his wife.

We were discussing The possibility

That he may have a brain tumor.

What are the other Possibilities?

That we don'’t know. There'’s any variety of things.

Well, his wife told us That you were asking about

The possibility Of a drug overdose.

We'’ve considered that.

And? Early: there'’s no History of drug use.

And according to his wife, He'’s on no medication.

Well, if all that is true, Then he didn'’t voluntarily Take a drug.

I understand he'’s, uh, Experiencing a deep psychosis.

- is that right? - mm, from all appearances, yes.

Are there drugs that bring on This kind of condition?

- plenty of them. - well, then is it-

Is it possible He might have taken one

Without realizing What it was?

I don'’t understand.

Doctor, could someone Have slipped him a drug

That induces psychosis Without him knowing about it?

It'’s possible.

Well, I suggest you follow up That possibility, doctor.

Oh, by the way, I...

I just had a chat with The hospital administrator.

The records are being Changed now.

Your patient'’s name is smith- John smith.

Remember that, Will you, doctor?

[ siren wailing ]

[ siren stops ]

Man: down here. Let'’s move it.What do we have?

Coast guard got a distress call From a sailboat off the point.

Ballona creek, charlie.

[ siren wailing ]

That jetty'’s only dry For about four inches.

An engine company would sink To its axle in that mud.

You think a boat like this Could get through water That shallow?

This thing is jet powered. We can scoot right up the creek.

My guess is that the plane'’s Down right near the bank.

[ siren wailing ]

[ siren wailing ]

Help! I can'’t get out!

I can'’t move! The door'’s jammed!

What action?

She was eyeing him Like a hungry lioness.

You know why?You'’re gonna tell me, right?

Because he'’s got, uh- What do you call it?

Charisma.Charisma. Yeah.

Now don'’t worry. Some guys got it, And some guys don'’t.

You just gotta learn To live with it, that'’s all.

I mean, in your case, Live without it.

You'’re just not Gonna quit, are you?

No, I'’m just tying To explain to you

Why certain things are.

And you just Don'’t understand, roy.

Now, keep that covered For a couple days. It'’ll be fine.

Hi.Hi yourself.

Somebody said You wanted to see me.

Yeah, any progress On our mr. Smith?

No, no change,

Except for a few more government Agents hanging around.

This place is starting To give me the creeps.

Well, hang in there.

They must have A good reason to be here.

Well, are you in On the big secret?

Sorry.

Well, it seems Kind of unfair to me.

Womanly curiosity cheated, Huh?

Oh, boy, you said it.

Well, we really can'’t complain,

As long as they don'’t interfere With hospital operations.

Oh, really?

As of about five minutes ago,

Your orders of the patient Were overruled.

Which orders?

Well, do you recall Asking dr. Morton

To check sir er-- I mean to check mr. Smith?

- he hasn'’t? - oh, he tried.

But mr. Duran'’s orders Kept him from it.

- well, we'’ll see about that. - oh, kel.

Like you said, Hang in there.

Hello, dr. Brackett.

I think you and I have A few things to discuss.

Well, sure, doc. Sit down.

You may have A legitimate function here,

But it doesn'’t Include interfering

With what I order For my patients.

I wouldn'’t dream Of interfering, doc.

Just check everything you Order through me first.

That way there won'’t Be any problems.

Look, I don'’t think you Got the message, duran.

I'’m not in the habit Of asking government agents

For medical concurrence.

Look, doc, I don'’t have an ax to grind

And you shouldn'’t either.

You'’ve got your job, And I'’ve got mine.

And right now your job Is interfering with mine.

You should have checked Dr. Morton through me.

Right now I don'’t even know Where dr. Morton is.

I hope he'’s not a victim Of your cloak-and-dagger Operation.

Did you try looking In the patient'’s room?

I was told you wouldn'’t Let him in there.

Only temporarily.

He'’s back on the job now, Properly cleared.

Now, if there'’s Nothing else, doctor-

Well, there is.Shoot.

I'’ve been trying for the last Hour to find sir erik'’s wife.

You wouldn'’t happen To have any idea

Where she could Be found, do you?

Yes, I would. Why do you wanna see her?

[ sighs ]

This situation is getting More unusual every minute.

I wanna talk To the patient'’s wife.

It'’s part of my responsibility.

And it'’s my responsibility To know why.

Look, there'’s no point In you and I butting heads

Every time we turn around.

Fine. Then you bring

Sir erik'’s wife to my office.

After that, I wanna talk To every member

Of their house staff.

I don'’t see any Need for that.

Yeah, I was sure you wouldn'’t.

- look, doc-- - no, you look, duran.

Apparently, For some unknown reason

Sir erik'’s health Is of great concern to you.

Why? I don'’t know.

But right now he'’s my patient.

And his welfare is my concern.

Will you give me Some room to work?

I'’m tying to give you Some room to work,

But you must understand There'’s more to this than that.

All I ask is that you play Everything through me first,

And I'’ll break My neck to help you.

Well, I appreciate The gesture.

Now convince me that You'’re medically qualified To, uh, make decisions...

About what I should Or should not do For the patient'’s welfare.

I'’m not medically qualified.

But are you ready to accept The responsibility

For the welfare of An entire nation, doctor?

Is he really that important?

He could be, doc. He really could be.

What'’s with you two?

Well, uh...

Roy thinks I'’m overbearing And irritating...

Because I said he was A little over the hill.

Well, if anybody Said that to me,

I'’d have pushed him Over the hill.

Oh, it'’s not That kind of a hill.

What other kind of A hill is there?

Well, it'’s a...

Uh, it'’s a girl hill.Yeah.

[ both laughing ]

Well, if you gentlemen Will excuse me,

I'’m gonna go have A coffee break.

- chicken. - yeah, you better believe it.

Uh, listen, doc. You wanna settle this for us?

Well, frankly--[ phone rings ]

Oh, saved by the bell.

Dr. Early.

Yes, this is The nurses'’ station.

Who?

Well, your fifth call Is the right one. He'’s right here.

Roy, it'’s for you. Some girl named Susan st. John.

Hello?

Yeah, yeah.

[ chattering ]

May I borrow your sugar?Sure.

Aren'’t you miss mccall?Oh, yes, I am.

You were on my husband'’s case When he was brought in.

Well, this must be Pretty rough for you.

Please, won'’t you sit down?

Well, I don'’t wanna intrude.

Are you sure you wouldn'’t Rather be left alone?

As a matter of fact, I'’m rather frightened Of being alone.

Please, sit down.

You know, of course, That the doctors

Are doing everything That they possibly can.

I just had a long talk With dr. Brackett And that mr. Duran.

But everything seems So confusing, suspicious.

Well, I imagine it'’s because Of your husband'’s work.

The government.

I almost made The dreadful mistake of not

Allowing him to be brought Here because of his work.

- I don'’t wanna pry. - oh, don'’t worry.

There'’s nothing I know either.

That'’s what I've missed so much These past few months-

Erik and I just talking.

Discussing his work With the university.

His love of research And teaching.

It'’s been just nine months

Since he took that Mysterious trip to washington.

Things just haven'’t been The same since he returned...

And started working So very hard.

Well, it sounds like you have A vey dedicated husband.

Oh, forgive me. I didn'’t mean to cry On your shoulder.

Oh, don'’t be silly. We all do that once in a while.

Thank you. You'’re very kind.

Your husband'’s work, Did it seem to bother him much?

He denied it, of course, But I did see a change.

Those long hours In the laboratory

And then home, Researching, writing.

There never seemed To be an end to it.

In fact, I was relieved

When it was time For his annual physical.

I was concerned for his health. He seemed so depressed.

- but he did have the physical. - oh, yes.

Dr. Berman gave him A clean bill of health.

As a matter of fact,

He seemed more cheerful After the checkup.

Maybe just hearing From the doctor

Seemed to allay Some of his fears.

Fears?

Well, a man of erik'’s age Working so hard-

I'’m sure he was privately Concerned about his health.

Dr. Berman'’s reassurance

Seemed to put him In a better frame of mind.

Apparently he missed something, Didn'’t he?

Oh, I'’m so frightened.

So very frightened.

What'’d she say?

You wouldn'’t believe me If I told you.

Try me.Why? So you can needle me again?

Squad 51 available. Squad 51.

Okay, maybe I was wrong.

Nice of you to admit it.

My wife thinks so too.

Thinks so too what?That I'’m kind of appealing.

Oh, that'’s not what I was wrong about.

Thinking maybe I wasn'’t too tactful. Sorry.

Well, then you'’re Still insisting

I haven'’t got what it takes?

You know, I really have to Hand it to you guys.

How did you ever think Of a contraption like this?

- superior training. - I wouldn'’t go that far.

- it is pretty ingenious though. - how is the mother doing?

Last report, just fine, Now that she knows Her baby'’s okay.

Where'’s your famous partner?

Well, looks like he'’s Tracking down a new nurse.

I figure it wouldn'’t Take him long to spot her.

It never does. See you later, doc.

Woman: Dr. Early. Dr. Joe early,

Call dr. Brackett On extension 1941.

What'’s the matter with you?

You know what'’s The matter with me.

Are you upset because I interrupted progress In there?

You know, it wasn'’t like You were gonna get anywhere.

I mean, you were Just being malicious.

I-I wasn'’t being malicious.

What went on in there just Goes to show you that, uh,

I'’m not dead yet.

[ engine starts ]

That'’s it for me. I'’m runnin' out of questions.

What about The tumor possibility?

Well, I called dr. Early. He should have The test results soon.

Well, if it is a tumor, Can it be corrected?

I can'’t answer that. There'’s too many variables.

We'’ll just have to wait and see.

Well, that'’s The problem, doc.

We'’re running out of time.

In seven days, Sir erik'’s presence

In geneva is Absolutely essential.

Well, then I suggest You start looking for Someone to replace him.

Oh, that'’s out of the question.

I mean, he'’s a major part Of a very important Scientific achievement.

Without him And his finished work,

The door is closed To the efforts

Of a dozen other scientists Around the world.

[ sighs ] I'’m sorry.

Unfortunately, That'’s not good enough, doctor.

Duran, I'’m tying to tell you.

I'’ve got three of the country's Top specialists

In this hospital right now Tying to find an answer.

That'’s the vey best we can do.

That'’s the very best Anybody can do.

I'’m sorry, doc, It'’s just that this project

Is so terribly important.

I understand.

What about your theory

On someone purposely Tying to drug him?

Well, I guess your Blood tests ruled that out.

Well, that'’s not Necessarily true.

There'’s some drugs that Don'’t show up in those tests.

I told you that.

Well, we checked everybody

That'’s been near him For the past week.

I mean, they'’re all clean.

[ buzzing ]

Dr. Brackett. Yeah, joe.

And what about The brain scan?

Okay, thanks, joe.

Well, no sign of a tumor. All tests negative.

Dr. Brackett,

What is wrong with him?

[ door opens ]

Kel, may I see you For a minute?

I'’ll be in the coffee room.

Any luck?

Nothing.

Kel, this may not Be much help, but-

What, dix?

Well, I just had a long talk With lady rossman.

She mentioned that Her husband recently had A physical examination.

Yeah, I know. Picture of health, Wasn'’t that the findings?

Well, yeah, You know about it then.

Yeah, from the maid, The butler,

The personal secretary, And his wife.

We talked to all of them.

Every one of them Reported on his perfect health.

And his depression.

What depression?

They didn'’t tell you?

No, they didn'’t. Come on, dix.

Well, it'’s just that His wife mentioned

That he'’d been depressed,

Apparently from working so hard.

And?

Well, that'’s what I thought You should know.

After his physical, She saw an improvement.

Well, I thought maybe...

Yeah, maybe he'’s too proud

To let his wife know He'’s on medication.

Right.

Dix, if you'’re right-

Sharon, this is dr. Brackett.

Tell duran to get into My office will you?

I think he'’s in The coffee room.

Now we asked her A million questions.

How did you get that out of her?

Oh, just a little Woman-to-woman talk.

Well, now it'’s starting To make sense.

Would you like to guess what the Maid served him for breakfast?

One very large cheese omelet.

I got your call.

I think we just found that Break we'’ve been looking for.

Get your men out To the rossman house

And have them Go through everything.

Bring me back every pill,

Capsule, medicine you can find.

You'’re really Onto something, huh?

Maybe.

I think dix May have found that key

That'’s gonna Open the door in geneva.

Sure, susan, I appreciate it, And I understand too.

All right. Yeah. Well, take care. Bye-bye.

Well, my wife'’s Gonna appreciate that.

She just apologetically Brushed me off.

[ scoffs ] See? I told you.

It was all gratitude.

Just took a while for it To sink in, that'’s all.

Well, not quite.

I think what sunk in Is a very deep remorse

After giving some thought To the fact

That she could create A problem for my family.

I guess she cared so much

That she didn'’t wanna cause Any unhappiness.

Oh, that'’s very noble of her.

That means no more phone calls, Right?

Yeah, I'’m off the hook.

By the way, you guys, there'’s A new nurse over at rampart.

- you might look into it. - how would you know that?

Well, johnny saw the way She tumbled for me.

I need some help. Real help.

How about it, chet?

I'’m glad to oblige. That shouldn'’t be any problem.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I struck out on my Initial meeting with her.

Yeah, but see, You don'’t have the...

The whatchamacallit That chet has.

Yeah, the charisma.

Station 51, kmg-365.

[ engine starts ]

[ sirens wailing, Horns honking ]

Duran: every bottle and pill In the house right here.

Aspirin. Sweeteners.

Vitamins.

And one prescription dated Last week for sir erik rossman.

Tranylcypromine.

Then we were right.

Well, mix it with an Early morning cheese omelet,

And in this case what Amounts to instant psychosis.

You'’ve lost me, doc.

Well, dix got on The right track.

Sir erik'’s wife noticed He was quite depressed,

Which isn'’t really abnormal,

Working under The kind of pressure

Your breach of security rules Can'’t reveal to us.

So, he had a physical exam.

And most likely described His condition to dr. Berman,

And got himself An antidepressant prescription.

Well, it worked. His wife Noticed the improvement,

But didn'’t know why.

You mean his doctor'’s Responsible?

Well, I doubt very much That he'’s a spy or anything

Dramatic enough for your Cloak-and-dagger operation.

But probably through oversight,

Dr. Berman didn'’t give him Proper diet instructions

To go with the prescription.

Well, I'’m tying, doc, But I still don'’t follow.

Well, it'’s pretty complicated,

But it goes like this.

The brain has a chemical, Monoamine oxidase.

This prescription is used for Combatting mental depression.

And food, such as cheese, Yogurt and beans...

Have a natural chemical Called tyramine.

Together, tyramine and this drug

Combine to explode The blood pressure.

And the result can Be symptoms ranging from

Convulsions to strokes Or extreme psychosis.

As in this case.

Well, now that we know, It'’s rather simple.

Well, the next question- Can it be treated?

Well, you can tell your people That sir erik will be fit

For a trip to geneva Within the next few days.
